You've probably all seen that Trap17 and many other sites have a small icon that gets displayed in the address bar, or in your favourites/bookmarks. Well, here's how to get an icon on your own site:
1. Choose either 1A or 1B
1A: You can either make an icon yourself with your favourite icon making program
1B: Make a square picture, any size you want and save it. When you're done making the picture, go to this site, upload the image and download the zip. Then unpack the zip to get the icon.
2. Great! Now you have an icon. If it's not called favicon.ico, then you should rename it (to favicon.ico). Upload the icon to your public_html directory using the FileManager in your CPanel or your FTP client.
3. Now, in all pages that should you want to have the icon you need to have the following somewhere between <head> and </head>:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">
That's it! To test it in some browsers you have to add the site to your favourites, but in Mozilla/Firefox all you have to do is go to the site. If everything went well you should see your icon in the address bar.
If you don't see the icon check that the icon got uploaded okay and that the "<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" >" line is in the HTML (and that if it is somewhere between the head tags that it's not inside a script or style tag). And if it still doesn't work, ask here!

Wow! There's actually a site that converts icons? I just use "Any to Icon". It's very helpful and you don't have to go online to use it! You can download it somewhere, but unfortunetly, I forgot! Just search for it in google! you can find it now because of google's new suggest feature!
